Big Brother’s Paul in ‘floods of tears’ after leaving the house as he’s booed at live eviction
AXED Big Brother star Paul Blackburn admitted he was very emotional watching scenes inside the house.
The Liverpool lad exited to a chorus of boos on Friday night, alongside Dylan Tennant, amid claims of bullying in the house.
Paul admitted the reception shocked him and insisted the reality of life inside the house is very different to the narrative portrayed on television.
Speaking to Late and Live host AJ Odudu last night, he also revealed one aspect in particular of not being a housemate has left him with a large lump in his throat.
Having spent his evenings tucked up in bed with pal Tom, Paul said it hit him hard watching his friend sleeping alone.
“Last night I seen it and I teared up to death,” he said. “We did have a bromance. He turned round and tried to spoon me in the middle of the night both times. I’m missing it. I’m back to my girlfriend but I’m having to spoon her so it’s a bit different.”
He then reflected on the eviction itself and admitted he’s worried for all of the remaining housemates when it’s their turn to leave.
“In general, coming out to what I came out to no one in the house excepted that, especially meself,” he said.
“I went in there to have fun so I just want everyone to know about everyone in the house. No one has got any narratives, everyone’s very respectful and they’re very good people, every single one of them, so I don’t know why people are getting certain narratives pushed on them.
“Obviously, it’s a very intense environment. Coming out to what I came out to, I won’t lie, it was hard to take. Very, very hard to take, especially for a man who stands up for mental health.”
During his exit interview with hosts AJ and Will Best, Paul claimed he was told to ‘wind up’ his fellow housemates.
He made the shocking admission while being grilled on his furious row with Trish on Thursday.
Paul revealed: “Big Brother told us to wind everyone up.”
AJ and Will quickly dismissed his remark and continued with the interview.
However, Big Brother fans at home were stunned by his claim and took to social media to comment.
One said: “Did Paul just say that Big Brother told them to wind people up?”
A second wrote: “Did Paul just say big brother told them to wind them up? Or did I hear wrong?”
“Did I just hear that right,” questioned a third.
While a fourth posted: “Paul just said he was told to wind people up.”
